Tasting by Yohan Castaing in 2024: ‘In 2021, Suduiraut endured a difficult “annus horribilis”, suffering heavy losses due to spring frost and mildew, which almost decimated the entire harvest. However, in the midst of this adversity, Suduiraut 2021 emerges as a true gem. Made only from Semillon grapes and producing a tiny crop of one hectolitre per hectare, this vintage is nothing short of remarkable, possessing a deep, complex bouquet of spice, vanilla bean, exotic fruit, ripe orchard fruit, herbs, flowers and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, it exudes concentration and richness, enveloping the palate in controlled power and impeccable balance. Its lively acidity complements a fleshy fruity core, culminating in a long, mineral and precisely articulated finish. This vintage is one of the most refined and fragrant expressions ever produced at Suduiraut, and could achieve top marks in years to come. Well done to the team for making such an exceptional wine in difficult conditions. Residual sugar: 138 grams per litre’.
